Supremacy

After a sleepless night mostly spent fucking Eva into oblivion, Zarken was agitated throughout the morning.

She’d wake up eventually, but not yet. He wanted to be there when she did, so he may take her again.

An unforeseen, and unpleasant, development. Taking her once should have been enough. He’d taken her all day, and most of the night, but it really, really wasn’t. He needed to understand why.

Eventually admitting the limitations of his tired mind, he’d gathered his best employees, and some of his apprentices from Krina and held a virtual reality conference.

They all stood in the middle of his conference room in Krina, and although no one was there, the simulation was so real he could smell the unpolluted air coming out of the open window. A refreshing change.

“That’s the data gathered in the club last night, and throughout the day while our subject was at work,” he told them, pulling up the information. “The nanocytes have been, for all intents and purposes, scanning her cerebral functions for over twenty-four hours, yet we aren’t any closer to categorizing her.”

The eleven Krinars’ reactions ranged between bafflement and curiosity.

“Would it be a malfunction of our nanocytes?” Ravrak, the head of development asked.

“No, they’ve functioned perfectly well with any other human they’ve analyzed. The program gets close to coming to a conclusion, then gets thrown off when the subject acts in a way that contradicts its reading.”

He pulled up the reading from the moment when they’d met.

“Everything indicates fear, and all of a sudden, the subject becomes calm.”

“Perhaps she suffers from a personality disorder,” Slidr suggested.

Zarden shook his head; such matters had never thrown off his program in the past.

“No, no, look at this,” Adev, a young apprentice who’d earned her place around this table by often coming up with theories no one else thought of, said pointing to the readings. “This isn’t a deficiency, this is control. Your subject has trained her mind to ignore fear. Most humans are governed by their fear.”

The woman closed her eyes a second, and another set of readings appeared right next to the recording of Eva’s three-dimensional brain scan.

The second hologram showed almost the exact same activity. There seemed to be more functions active at any one time on the new data, though.

“What’s this?”

“My brain. An average Krinar’s cerebral activity. This shows similarities because we also tend to use our reason.”

“Are you saying this human has developed a consciousness similar to ours? That’s ludicrous,” he heard himself reply, almost angered by the very possibility.

Humans were a young, volatile race.

Adev shrugged. “Their intelligence tends to be near-Krinar, and according to our records, some amongst them, like Einstein, are, in fact, comparable to ours. It’s entirely possible that some amongst them may think like us. You can see she’s not using nearly as much of her brain potential, but she’s, of course, younger than any of us. If we were to pull up her brain activity next to one of our teenagers, it might be identical.”

“Fascinating. If you were to bring her to my lab, we could study…”

“Out of the question.
